There is no martial arts, a hot pot, no respect for the temperature and taste of every ingredient, and all the dishes are mixed in a pot, which stinks! ! !

In short, it is a severe condemnation and contempt for the hot pot practice.

At this point, perhaps Mr. Yuan Mei, a food critic, grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and most of the hot pots he tasted were clear soup and scanty water.

Anyway, Qiu Fatty, a non-famous food critic, doesn't quite agree with this view. Spicy, mandarin duck, coconut juice and pork belly nourish the bottom of the pot ... Many places in China have different bottom of the pot. There are both spicy and non-spicy foods. Anyway, it's hard for fatty Qiu to understand why Mr. Yuan Mei despises hot pot so much.

Fat Qiu said that something unpleasant might have happened when Mr. Yuan Mei was eating hot pot, which was just a guess.

On the other hand, Mr Yuan Mei is, after all, a famous food critic, who has a good knowledge of food.

The best-selling book Suiyuan Food List records a series of comments made by Mr. Yuan on this matter. Mr. Qiu Pangzi, a non-famous food critic and a typical American food connoisseur in Greater China, said that this book is indeed the first food-related book he has read, which is very enlightening.

So what kind of enlightening book does Mr. Qiu Fatty say this is?

Pigs are arranged clearly from birth. This part is used for cooking, and that piece of meat is used for stew. Anyway, the whole body is basically arranged.

Pang Qiu said that he can also come up with many kinds of practices about pork. But most of them are mixed fried, and simple pork banquets are still relatively rare. But Mr. Yuan's approach to pork is to list more than 40 kinds of dishes.

Stewed pig's head, stewed pig's trotters, stir-fried pork tripe, stewed pork tripe with rice wine, stewed lung with chicken soup, fried kidney flower, pork tenderloin with shrimp soup, sliced white meat, braised white meat, fried meat, steamed meat in a griddle, bowl-brewed meat, dried meat, braised ham meat, steamed meat with rice flour, bacon and hibiscus. ......

However, if you carefully observe the special dishes in Mr. Yuan's garden menu, you will find a very distinctive feature, that is, there are many stews. What is "simmering" is a cooking method in which food and soup are put in a sealed crock and cooked with slow fire. This creates a problem, that is, every dish in Mr. Yuan's special menu needs a high time cost.

Qiu fatty said, that's it? If it takes so long, it's almost cooked, and social animals don't deserve slow fire.

Don't think that Mr. Yuan only eats pork, flying in the sky, walking on the ground and swimming in the water. As long as he enters the eyes of foodies, there are 1800 changes.

In his food list, Mr. Yuan mentioned the magical power of the second brother's change except the special sacrifice list.

There are also chickens, ducks, geese and friendly pigeons that bring you 47 episodes of the long story "Three Brothers with Wings and a Pigeon". (See Suiyuan Food List-Chicken Feather List for details.)

"I am not seafood" tells you that no matter whether you have scales or not, whether you are fish, crucian carp, shrimp or prime minister in the pool, you can't escape a banquet. (For details, please refer to the list of aquarium garden scales and the list of aquarium scales in the menu. )

Even monks cannot escape the temptation to eat meat. Mr. Yuan tells you the answer. (For details, please refer to Menu-Miscellaneous Menu, Small Menu)

Is Mr. Yuan's trilogy still to your liking? If it's not enough, Mr. Yuan said accompanying dessert will introduce you to all kinds of desserts, tea and wine, and at the same time uncover the difference between porridge and rice for you. (For details, please refer to the garden menu-dim sum menu, rice porridge menu, tea and wine menu.)

In a word, Mr. Yuan's menu has prepared rich dishes for you, but its only shortcoming is that it only makes comments and general practices.

It's a bit like doing an experiment, telling you all the ingredients, but not telling you the proportion of each ingredient. You can debug it yourself.

Mr. Qiu Pangzi said that the three elements of the recipe pay attention to ingredients, dosage and steps. But Mr. Yuan's menu didn't say the amount and steps, so Qiu Fatty thought this menu was Mr. Yuan's food review notes.

According to the food list provided by Mr. Yuan, with the development of the times, some species are simply eaten as rare species and national protected animals. This means that some dishes in the menu can't be presented again, such as civet cats.

In addition, the dishes extracted by Mr. Yuan may not arouse the great interest of Fat Qiu. Mr. Yuan grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so most of the dishes collected in the menu are Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, which focus on simmering, stewing and frying. The biggest disadvantage of this dish is that it takes a lot of time to master the cooking, and the dish is very troublesome. Similarly, contemporary social animals have no time to cook such exquisite dishes.

Talking about this "roast chicken" is really anxious. Cook for eight minutes, and then cook the soup upside down. Fat Qiu thinks this is a fat hen, and the oil is too thick, so it will get tired after cooking. Boiled with lard, oily, chicken oily. Burn it yellow with sesame oil and it will be stronger. Generally speaking, oil will account for a large proportion.

Complex techniques make dishes very delicate and their value is rising, but it may not be suitable for fast pace. Especially in today's materialistic and healthy life, I wonder if people will still like this greasy dish.

There are many dishes in Mr. Yuan's menu, many of which can be tasted by reading the words, but as mentioned above, some dishes can only be tasted and experienced by people with a certain economic foundation and leisure time.

From Mr. Yuan's menu, we can also find that some dishes have changed greatly since ancient times.

Mr. Qiu Pangzi said that moon cakes are a typical representative.

There are two kinds of moon cakes in the food list, one is Liu Fangbo's moon cake, and the other is lace moon cake.

It can be seen from the records that in ancient times, at least in the Kanggan period of the Qing Dynasty, moon cakes were thin and thick, crisp outside and tender inside. But today, Fat Qiu said that he doesn't like moon cakes very much. There are many fancy styles of moon cakes, but they all taste like eating syrup or chewing discus. It can be said that it is a dough mixed with various sugar juices.

However, Pang Qiu also said that ancient moon cakes are still passed down in some places in the north, but they are rarely seen in the south, and it is even more difficult to have a chance to taste them.

For eating, eating has a sense of ceremony.

Mr. Yuan has 20 instructions about eating and 14 commandments. It is the embodiment of the ritual sense of eating, what to do and what not to do when eating.

But for Mr. Yuan's notice list and warning list, Qiu Fatty still thinks that some rules and regulations still vary from person to person. Such as giving up hot pot and oil.

Pang Qiu thinks that abstaining from hot pot has a strong personal color. Hot pot is so delicious that Mr. Yuan doesn't like it. Abstain from oil, well, just like the roast chicken mentioned above, it doesn't lose oil, but it is easy to gain weight!

However, it must be said that the sense of ritual in eating can really bring a happy mood, and different dishes are also a kind of respect for different dishes. Second brother has cooked it, so it's not too much to dress up when you go to the table again.

Finally, Qiu Fatty still wants to say that Mr. Yuan really might as well try celery fried meat and celery beef. These dishes are really delicious.
